Disable AutoPlay - Click to play by Ed Gar
Review by Sivabhaskar
Rated 4 out of 5
by Sivabhaskar, 6 years agoWorks for the most part. My configuration is (Windows 7 Home Premium + Latest version of Firefox).
When an YouTube Video page is being loaded, the video is successfully blocked from playing automatically.
However, the downside is, once we click the red box (that this add-on overlays on top of the video) and make the video play, the add-on does not seem to work when we click and open a "suggested video" that is displayed on the original video's page. Hopefully the developer could sort this out. I will increase the Star Rating to 5 once this issue is taken care of.
Steps to recreate issue:
1) Load any video on YouTube
2) Click the red box displayed on top of the video to make the video to play
3) Now click one of the suggested videos displayed on the right side of the original video's YouTube page (Or, after the original video you opened completes playing, click on one of the suggested videos displayed on the Video Player).
4) The suggested video will load, but this time the add-on fails to kick in. This video still automatically plays.
Workaround for the time being:
In step #3 above, instead of directly clicking on any of the suggested videos, open the suggested video in a NEW TAB (by right clicking and selecting 'Open link in new tab' or by pressing and holding the 'Control' key in your keyboard while clicking). Now the add-on kicks-in in the new tab as expected and stops the auto play of the video in the newly opened tab (even if the video on the original tab is still playing).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18812553, 23 days agoFINALLY! I tried every setting suggestion to disable autoplay videos on Pinterest (on Pinterest, in my Browser, in the mobile App settings), but nothing worked. This add-on finally solved the problem. Thank you very much!!!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13112466, 8 months agoWorks pretty well most of the time -- but the Brightcove player (which is becoming more and more common) does not play unless this extension is disabled.

ETA: Any chance we can get a whitelist option? - Rated 4 out of 5by BrunoFortunatto, a year agoFunciona muito bem! Uma sugestão seria a possibilidade de configurar para desativar em um determinado site/domínio

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fred from the Arizona desert, 2 years agoFor years I've been annoyed by the autoplay videos at foxbusiness.com. Nothing would stop them from playing. I tried addon after addon, but this one is the only one I found that works. Thank you.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17976117, 2 years agoIt now prevents any video on Amazon Prime from playing, no matter how many times I click on it. The add-on was great while it worked, but now I'll have to remove it. If only there was a "pause on this site" feature, I'd still be using this, and just pausing on Amazon.
- Rated 4 out of 5by fugueink, 2 years agoI would have given it five stars if I could disable it on certain sites.
- Rated 5 out of 5by cioffi, 2 years agoI created a firefox account just to rate this extension because it works wonderfully, unlike all the others I tried.
well done. - Rated 2 out of 5by Teth, 2 years agoIt doesn't work in every case. Some videos on the sites start automatically.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pasq, 3 years agoGreat extension but sometime, there are 2 videos playing after clicking. Try this page : https://fr.news.yahoo.com/video/dauphin-sauvage-veut-faire-gratter-143007674.html
On some site, it doesn't work, there is only the sound.

It's in the way in most cases but the extension does what it is supposed to and it's the only one i can find that does it for all sites.
- Rated 4 out of 5by somethinguseful, 3 years agoGreat add-on that works well. A nice feature to add would be the ability for the end user to be able to hide the red frame, because for me it is quite distracting.
Thank you for all your effort. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14009048, 3 years ago
